    Good or bad, it's either a must-see in your house, or not even on the radar screen.

    Feels like an extended TV cartoon segment.

    A much more intense action vehicle for hero Ash Ketchum and his band of pocket monster trainers than its leaden, sometimes claustrophobic predecessor.

    No better than the first.

    What people don't seem to realise is that THIS MOVIE WAS AIMED AT POKEMON FANS AND KIDS. At the time what kid wasn't a Pokemon fan? Now of course as a movie it is relatively balanced although you can't help but think this is all extremely coincedental. I mean they just HAPPEN to crash onto an island due to a storm (that just appears out of no where) and the island HAPPENS to be having a festival one and Ash HAPPENS to be the chosen one destined to save it. It all seems blatently set up. Otherwise the animation is great for the time as is the soundtrack. Pokemon fans will adore it and others....you may want to give it a try but I wouldn't really recommend it.… Expand

    It doesn't appear to be as engaging as the one that came before it and some that came after it. The story won't grab your attention like the original would have.… Expand
